If you are using the computer BIOS field "Asset Tag" as a means to automate the Computer Asset entry for System Number you may be finding the CMDB Task "Inventory to Asset Synchronization is not updating the System Number with your Asset Tag. There is an article that is related to this issue, however it does not tell you a resolution for it.  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH44306

The problem is with the task using a Inventory Data Class that does not contain a value for the CMDB Data Class to use for System Number. There is a Inventory Data Class in the Inv_HW_Chassis.[Asset Tag] that does have the BIOS Asset Tag value, but the task does not use it. You will need to open a case to get a new Stored Procedure as a workaround or wait for the fix in a future release.

Video testimonial from European Telecommunications services network giant VimpelCom. A user of Altiris IT Management Suite, VimpelCom is also using Symantec's Next Generation Network Protection to add Parental Control features for their customers mobile phone service!

The growth in new threats to information security in critical business infrastructures means that compliance with standard requirements is an enduring problem. Organizations are compelled to divert significant resources away from finding solutions to their core business problems towards meeting their compliance needs. Research indicates that companies spent at least 15 percent of their technology budget on ensuring compliance with various standard requirements in 2006. For joint-stock companies whose shares are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the necessity of meeting the high Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) standards required of issuers provides a major incentive in optimizing their IT security...

How, where to find the latest Architecture, Planning, Implementation and Design Guide for Altiris

There was a time where we were not having any "Architecture" guideline documentation for such complex Altiris framework... Now, we have a lot, and when TECHs are talking about the "Design" doc, they are not always talking about the same. ;-P

Beta testing on the Symantec Management Platform is a pain. The hardware prerequisite for a responsive console throws the traditional workstation beta testing VMs out into the cold. Whilst they work, it's pretty frustrating beta testing when you're waiting ages for console refreshes.

So.. for this round of beta testing I decided to bite the bullet and get a OCZ RevoDrive for my beta testing virtual machines. The Revodrive 3 240GB capacity is more than enough to house my beta SMP server, domain controller, a site server,  some dhcp routers and a couple of client VMs.

I am not disappointed. HDTune registers drive transfer rates of over 400MB/s and 0.1ms access times. Even within a VMWare workstation VM, the times are sweet. When benchmarking within a VM, the most notable change is in the access time. Initial tests show this ballooning to over 0.7ms, but in context this is still 20-30 times faster than my harddisk!

My Windows 2008 R2 server VM...
